AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 7 of Appendix J, Agricultural Reserve Program,
Pertaining to Eligibility Criteria
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: In May 1995, the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the
"Ordinance") was adopted by the City Council for the purpose of promoting and
encouraging the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City.
Under the Agricultural Reserve Program established by the Ordinance, the City
purchases the development rights of eligible parcels of land, leaving the fee simple
ownership of the land unchanged. These purchases are embodied by perpetual
agricultural land preservation easements pursuant to which only agricultural uses, as
defined in the Ordinance, are allowed on the land.
This amendment would extend the eligibility requirements to include parcels that lack
road frontage because it is a flag lot or that portion of the lot being impacted by the
floodplain subject to special restrictions.
• Considerations: Preservation easements have been unable to be purchased
when City Council action has been required for a subdivision variance due to a lack of
road frontage because the frontage of the lot is impacted by the floodplain subject to
special restrictions (Appendix K) or the lot was created as a flag lot. This amendment
would allow these lots to be considered developable for the Agricultural Reserve
Program.
• Public Information: Normal council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adoption of ordinance
• Attachments: Ordinance

and surrounding property owners. This policy may be re-evaluated in the future for
effectiveness of public engagement.
• Public Information: Normal council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 2-75 of the City Code Pertaining to
Nonmerit and Merit Service Employees
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City provides funding for fulltime employees (FTEs) who
serve as Virginia Beach Circuit Court law clerks. These positions have City job
descriptions, are hired with assistance from the City's Human Resources
Department, and are paid through the City payroll. Virginia Beach City Code
Section 2-75 sets forth that judges and associate judges of the circuit courts,
general district courts and juvenile and domestic relations district courts, and
employees of such courts are non-merit employees. Because law clerks
technically are City employees, it is not clear that they fall within this category of
non-merit employees. It appears the intent was for law clerks, like City attorneys,
to be non-merit employees, but because the City provides the FTEs, the current
language of the City Code does not clearly reflect this intent. This revision will
provide clarification that law clerks are non-merit employees.
• Considerations: The requested change will clarify the intent that law clerks
are non-merit employees. This change will apply to all new hires and will not be
retroactive. The Chief Judge of the Virginia Beach Circuit Court has requested
and supports this change to clarify the status of the judges' law clerks.
• Recommendation: Approval of ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 2-411 of the City Code Pertaining to
Emergency Management
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City code provides for an emergency management office,
with the City Manager appointed as director. A coordinator for the office is
appointed by the director, with consent of the City Council, in accordance with
state law. The Deputy City Manager for Public Safety has heretofore served as
the coordinator. However, upon the retirement of the current Public Safety
Coordinator, the City Manager does not plan to fill the Deputy City Manager for
Public Safety, at least not in the near term. Instead, a lead for emergency
management is being recruited, and it is anticipated that this new employee will
report to the City Manager. As the current Deputy City Manager for Public Safety
is retiring effective December 31, 2020, the amendment to City Code Section 2-
411 shall be effective as of December 31, 2020. Prior to that date the City
Manager will seek consent of to City Council to name a new coordinator for
emergency management.
• Considerations: The City Manager is not immediately filling the Deputy City
Manager for Public Safety position. A new lead of emergency management will
be hired and report directly to the City Manager. It is anticipated that this new
lead of emergency management will, with City Council consent, be named the
new coordinator for emergency management.

of Members to the Public Library Board
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City has had a public library board since its incorporation in

members and a maximum of fifteen (15) members. This change would enhance the
Board's ability to recruit subject matter experts to support the Board's advisory

issuance and sale of Storm Water Utility Bonds. After approval, the City became aware
that the structure of the Water and Sewer Master Bond Resolution requires amendment
by formal action of the City Council. Accordingly, the attached resolution confirms the
previous approval of the amendment to the Water and Sewer Master Bond Resolution.

transaction, as are the actions contemplated therein for the issuance and sale of the
2020 Series of Water and Sewer bonds.

4
hereunder, (b) the Registrar or the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
duties or that continuation with DTC as securities depository is not in the best interest of the
City, or (c) the Registrar or the City determines that continuation of the book entry system of
evidencing ownership and transfer of ownership of the Series of 2020 Bonds is not in the best
interest of the City or the beneficial owners of the Series 2020 Bonds, the Registrar and the City
shall discontinue the book entry system with DTC. If the Registrar or the City fails to identify
another qualified securities depository to replace DTC, the Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver replacement bonds in the form of fully registered certificates to the beneficial owners or
to the DTC participants on behalf of beneficial owners, substantially in the form as set forth in
Appendix A or Appendix B, as applicable, with such variations, omissions or insertions as are
necessary or desirable in the delivery of replacement certificates in printed form. The Series

registered owner of the Series 2020 Bonds, (b) transfers of ownership and exchanges shall be

Debt Service Components that may be incurred, without preference, priority or distinction of any

escrow agent.
ARTICLE IV
REDEMPTION OF SERIES 2020 BONDS
Section 12.401 Optional Redemption Provisions.
The Series 2020 Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of
the City on or after dates, if any, determined and agreed upon by the City Manager, in whole or
in part at any time at redemption prices equal to no greater than 100% of the principal amount of
the Series 2020 Bonds, together with any accrued interest to the redemption date.
Section 12.402 [Reserved].
Section 12.403 Selection of Series 2020 Bonds for Redemption.
If less than all of the Series 2020 Bonds of a Series are called for redemption, the Series
2020 Bonds of a Series to be redeemed shall be selected in such manner as the City Manager or
the chief financial officer of the City may determine to be in the best interest of the City.
If less than all of the Series 2020 Bonds of a particular maturity are called for
redemption, the Series 2020 Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC or any successor
securities depository pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book entry system is
discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar at its
discretion may determine.
The portion of any Series 2020 Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of
$5,000 or some multiple thereof. In selecting Series 2020 Bonds for redemption, each Series
2020 Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Series 2020 Bonds which is
6
obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Series 2020 Bond by $5,000. If a portion of a
Series 2020 Bond shall be called for redemption, a new Series 2020 Bond in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued to the registered owner upon the
surrender thereof.
Section 12.404 Notice of Redemption.
(a) The Registrar shall send notice of the call for redemption identifying the Series
2020 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the redemption date, (1)by facsimile or electronic transmission, registered or certified mail or
overnight express delivery, to the holder of each Series 2020 Bond to be redeemed at his address
as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar, (2)by facsimile or electronic
transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, to all organizations
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as securities depositories, and (3) to the
Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system (established by the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board) or any other nationally recognized municipal securities information
repository designated as such by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) In the case of an optional redemption, the notice may state that (1) it is
conditioned upon the deposit of moneys, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect
the redemption, with an escrow agent no later than the redemption date or(2) the City retains the
right to rescind such notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date (in either case, a
"Conditional Redemption"), and such notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect if such
moneys are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded as described herein. Any Conditional
Redemption may be rescinded at any time prior to the redemption date, and the Registrar shall
give prompt notice of such rescission to the affected Series 2020 Bondholders. Any Series 2020
Bonds subject to Conditional Redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain
Outstanding, and the rescission shall not constitute an Event of Default. Further, in the case of a
Conditional Redemption, the failure of the City to make funds available on or before the
redemption date shall not constitute an Event of Default, and the Registrar shall give immediate
notice to all organizations registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as securities
depositories or the affected Series 2020 Bondholders that the redemption did not occur and that
the Series 2020 Bonds called for redemption and not so paid remain outstanding.
ARTICLE V
FEDERAL TAX PROVISIONS
Section 12.501 Limitation of Use of Proceeds.
The City covenants with the holders of the Series 2020 Bonds as follows:
(a) The City shall not take or omit to take any action or make any investment or use
of the proceeds of any Series 2020 Bonds (including failure to spend the same with due
diligence) the taking or omission of which would cause the Series 2020 Bonds of any Series to
be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, including without limitation
participating in any issue of obligations that would cause the Series 2020 Bonds of any Series to
7
be part of an "issue" of obligations that are arbitrage bonds, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.148-10 or successor regulation, or otherwise cause interest on the Series
2020 Bonds of any Series to be includable in the gross income of the registered owners under
existing law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with any
provision of law that may require the City at any time to rebate to the United States of America
any part of the earnings derived from the investment of gross proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds.
(b) The City shall not permit the proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds or the facilities to
be financed with such proceeds to be used in any manner that would result in either (1) 5% or
more of such proceeds or the facilities being financed with such proceeds being considered as
having been used in any trade or business carried on by any person other than a governmental
unit as provided in Section 141(b) of the Code, (2) 5% or more of such proceeds or the facilities
being financed with such proceeds being used with respect to any "output facility" (other than a
facility for the furnishing of water) within the meaning of Section 141(b)(4) of the Code, or
(3) 5% or more of such proceeds being considered as having been used directly or indirectly to
make or finance loans to any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in
Section 141(c) of the Code.
(c) The City shall not take any other action that would adversely affect, and shall take
all action within its power necessary to maintain, the exclusion of interest on all Series 2020
Bonds from gross income for federal income taxation purposes; provided, however, that if the
City receives an opinion of Bond Counsel that compliance with any such covenant is not
required to prevent the interest on the Series 2020 Bonds from being includable in the gross
income of the registered owners thereof under existing law, the City need not comply with such
restriction.
Section 12.502 Rebate Requirement.
The City shall determine and pay, from any legally available source, the Rebate Amount,
if any, to the United States of America, as and when due, in accordance with the "rebate
requirement" described in Section 148(f) of the Code and retain records of all such
determinations until six years after payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds.
Section 12.503 Calculation and Payment of Rebate Amount.
(a) The City selects October 1 as the end of the bond year with respect to the Series
2020 Bonds pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-1.
(b) Within 30 days after the initial installment computation date, the last day of the
fifth bond year, unless such date is changed by the City prior to the date that any amount with
respect to the Series 2020 Bonds is paid or required to be paid to the United States of America as
required by Section 148 of the Code, and at least once every five years thereafter, the City shall
cause the Rebate Amount to be computed. Prior to any payment of the Rebate Amount to the
United States of America as required by Section 148 of the Code, such computation (the "Rebate
Amount Certificate") setting forth such Rebate Amount shall be prepared or approved by (1) a
person with experience in matters of governmental accounting for Federal income tax purposes
or(2) a bona fide arbitrage rebate calculation reporting service.
8
(c) Not later than 60 days after the initial installment computation date, the City shall
pay to the United States of America at least 90% of the Rebate Amount as set forth in the Rebate
Amount Certificate prepared with respect to such installment computation date. At least once on
or before 60 days after the installment computation date that is the fifth anniversary of the initial
installment computation date and on or before 60 days every fifth anniversary date thereafter
until final payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds, the City shall pay to the United States of
America not less than the amount, if any, by which 90% of the Rebate Amount set forth in the
most recent Rebate Amount Certificate exceeds the aggregate of all such payments theretofore
made to the United States of America pursuant to this Section. On or before 60 days after final
payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds, the City shall pay to the United States of America the
amount, if any, by which 100% of the Rebate Amount set forth in the Rebate Amount Certificate
with respect to the date of final payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds exceeds the aggregate
of all payments theretofore made pursuant to this Section. All such payments shall be made by
the City from any legally available source.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, no such calculation
or payment shall be made if the City receives an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
(1) such payment is not required under the Code in order to prevent the Series 2020 Bonds from
becoming "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or (2) such payment
should be calculated and paid on some alternative basis under the Code, and the City complies
with such alternative basis.
ARTICLE VI

Series of 2013. The City shall also cause such Notice to Bondholders to be filed in electronic

interest, privilege of redemption and maturity, authorized and issued pursuant to ordinances and
resolutions adopted by the City Council including a resolution adopted on February 11, 1992, as
previously supplemented and as supplemented and amended by a resolution adopted on

The Bonds and the premium, if any, and the interest thereon are limited obligations of the

discretion may determine. In either case, (a) the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in
the principal amount of$5,000 or some integral multiple thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for

purpose. If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender
hereof.

redemption date, all Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to bear
interest on such date, shall no longer be secured as set forth in the Resolution and shall not be
deemed to be outstanding under the provisions of the Resolution.
The registered owner of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the
Resolution or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein or to take any action with

NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO MASTER RESOLUTION
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH,VIRGINIA
Water and Sewer System Revenue and Refunding Bonds, Series of 2013
[CUSIPS &Maturities]
The Bank of New York is Bond Registrar for the above-captioned bonds (the "Bonds"),
which were issued under a Master Resolution adopted by the City Council (the "City Council")
of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City"), on February 11, 1992, as previously
supplemented and amended (the "Master Resolution"). The purpose of this Notice is to notify
Bondholders that the Master Resolution has been amended. Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Resolution.
The amendments to the Master Resolution provide that(i) interest and principal payments
on each Series of Bonds and Parity Obligations will be transferred from the Revenue Account to
the respective Bond Debt Service Account on their due date, rather than transferred to those
accounts in fractional amounts on a monthly basis throughout the year, (ii) deposits to the
Renewal and Replacement Account will be made by July 31 of each Fiscal Year in the full
amount budgeted by the City in accordance with its capital improvement program for such Fiscal
Year, rather than a fixed amount of$2,000,000 to be restored in fractional amounts over a twelve
month period, (iii) deposits to the Capital Improvement Account will be made by July 31 of each
Fiscal Year, rather than on the 25th day of the first full month after the City Council's approval
of the capital improvement program, and (iv) deposits to the Residual Account will be made by
the August 15 following the end of each Fiscal Year, rather than on the 25th day of the last
month of such Fiscal Year.
A copy of the Master Resolution and the amendments may be obtained from the Clerk of
the City upon written request (addressed to the attention of the Department of Finance,
Municipal Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456), together with satisfactory evidence that the
requestor is a holder of a Bond.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing and Directing the City Manager to Execute on Behalf of
the City of Virginia Beach a Memorandum of Agreement Pertaining to the
Hampton Roads Regional Groundwater Mitigation Program
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: Virginia Beach, along with other jurisdictions in Hampton Roads,
has participated in a regional groundwater mitigation program since 1994. The
Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) administers this program,
which has two purposes. The first is to facilitate mitigation payments to owners whose
wells have been adversely impacted by municipal pumping. Municipal groundwater
permits mandate these payments. The second is to equitably distribute these costs to
the various jurisdictions that are operating municipal wells simultaneously.
• Considerations: The program is administered by the HRPDC Water Resources
Department. The HRPDC Water Resources Department has an annual budget of
$175,000 that is allocated on a pro-rata basis among the participating localities. There
is a base allocation of $3,000 per local government, with the balance of annual costs
allocated according to the local share of regional population. Virginia Beach does not
own any municipal wells and it would not be assessed any mitigation payments.
However, in the unlikely event that Norfolk operates its municipal wells during a drought
and Lake Gaston water is not available, Virginia Beach would share any mitigation
payments assessed to Norfolk as provided by the water services agreement. The costs
associated with the annual allocation for the City according to the local share of regional
population are $33,368 for FY 2021-22.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process.
• Alternatives: The alternative to participating in the regional groundwater
mitigation program is to reject the resolution and not participate. The mitigation
program would go forward, but without the City's participation. This would be
counterproductive as the regional utilities cooperate on a number of water and
wastewater issues that benefit the City.
• Recommendations: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute
the participation agreement.
• Attachments: Resolution, Summary of Material Terms, Memorandum of
Agreement
Recommended Action: Approval

parties have evaluated the Groundwater Mitigation Program and determined that the
Program should be continued;
NOW THEREFORE, the signatory parties enter into the following Agreement.
This Memorandum of Agreement, entered into this XXst day of XXXX, 2020 among
and between fifteen local governments in Hampton Roads, the James City Service
Authority, and the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, establishes and extends
the Regional Groundwater Mitigation Program. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of
each entity in administering and funding the Regional Groundwater Mitigation Program.
BASIC PREMISES
1. Some local governments in Hampton Roads operate public water supply
wells inside and/or outside of their incorporated boundaries.
2. All local governments in Hampton Roads are interested in ensuring that
groundwater drawdown associated with the operation of public water supply
wells does not adversely impact the private wells of their citizens.
3. In the case where operation of a public water supply well causes or
contributes to groundwater drawdown that renders a well unusable, then
mitigation of damages attributable to that drawdown may be sought by the
well owner in accordance with local mitigation plans and agreements.
4. This Agreement establishes the administrative framework,which will be used
by the signatory parties to obtain technical analysis of requests for mitigation
by private well owners or other local governments in Hampton Roads.
Financial issues related to these requests are governed by existing
interjurisdictional agreements and state-approved Groundwater Mitigation
Plans that are separate and distinct from this Agreement.
5. This Agreement will have a term of five years, extending from January 1,
2021 through December 31, 2025. To conform to local government charter
and Virginia Code requirements, the funding provisions of this Agreement will
be subject to annual renewal.
2
6. Program costs will be allocated on a pro-rata basis among the signatory
parties. The annual base buy-in per city or county will be determined each
year as part of the HRPDC Directors of Utilities Committee budget planning
process. The balance of annual costs will be allocated according to the local
share of regional population. The most current estimate of population,
developed by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, will be used as
the population base for allocating program costs. Local contributions may be
escalated annually to reflect program experience and projected HRPDC
expenditures. Future private sector and non-Hampton Roads local
government participation may provide financial support to the program
according to a yet-to-be-determined formula, which will reflect annual
program costs. The funding formula will be evaluated on a regular basis by
the HRPDC Directors of Utilities Committee and may be adjusted to ensure
its continued equitability.
HRPDC RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the terms of this Agreement, the Hampton Roads Planning District
Commission is responsible for the following:
1. Conduct technical analyses of the impacts of groundwater withdrawals.
2. Respond equitably and in a timely fashion to requests from all signatory
parties for analyses of the impacts of groundwater withdrawals. The time
frame for responses will be based on experience and the complexity of
individual cases.
3. Develop a technical guidance document to determine the allocation of impact
mitigation responsibilities among the signatory parties. From 1994 to 2015,
this determination was based on application of the superpositioning
methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for the Hampton
Roads Planning District Commission. The methodology is described in
Michael J. Focazio and Gary K. Speiran, Estimating Net Drawdown for
Episodic Withdrawals at Six Well fields in the Virginia Coastal Plain Aquifers,
U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Investigation Report No. 93-4159,
1992. Beginning in 2016, the HRPDC staff began to apply an analysis
approach using the U.S. Geological Survey Virginia Coastal Plain
Groundwater Model. The HRPDC technical guidance document will be
updated to address the use of the model and future model updates.
4. Provide report(s) documenting the results of the HRPDC technical
analysis(es) to all signatory parties.
3
5. In any case where an aggrieved party appeals a local government mitigation
determination, provide the HRPDC analysis to the mitigation panel,
established under the local government's mitigation plan. However, the
HRPDC will not serve as a member of the mitigation panel.
6. Provide other technical support, as requested, to the signatory parties for
other groundwater analyses, including support for development of local
groundwater withdrawal permit applications and review of other proposed
groundwater withdrawals which may impact on groundwater resources in the
Hampton Roads region.
7. On request, provide technical staff support, at cost, to signatory parties for
data collection (field work), required by that signatory party's permit or
mitigation plan, approved by the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality (State Water Control Board).
8. Take steps, in conjunction with the signatory parties, to involve private sector
groundwater users in the Regional Groundwater Mitigation Program.
Administrative procedures and financial arrangements for private sector and
non-Hampton Roads local government participation will be developed in the
future, but will reflect the actual cost of the work.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the terms of this Agreement, the signatory parties are responsible for the
following:
1. Serve as the initial point of contact for aggrieved parties. Request mitigation
analysis(es)from HRPDC in a timely fashion following receipt of a claim.
2. Provide any locally-generated/collected data on groundwater conditions and
well construction that may be useful to HRPDC technical analysis(es).
3. Provide, in a timely fashion, all technical supporting data required by
Mitigation Plans, approved by the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality(State Water Control Board)as elements of Groundwater Withdrawal
Permits, to the HRPDC for use in analyses of mitigation claims.
4. Provide timely technical review of the HRPDC analysis(es)and conclusions.
5. Support HRPDC efforts to expand the mitigation program to cover all
groundwater uses.
6. Establish the appropriate mitigation panels, in accordance with local
mitigation plans, to hear appeals of initial mitigation responsibility
determinations.
4
PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING MITIGATION ANALYSES
Under this Memorandum of Agreement, the following process will be followed to
request HRPDC technical support to address mitigation claims.
1. Aggrieved party contacts the locality of residence.
2. The local government contacts the HRPDC and requests that an impact
analysis be conducted. In addition,any signatory parties may request that an
impact analysis be undertaken.
3. The HRPDC conducts the analysis, as requested, and advises all signatory
parties of the results of the technical analysis(es).
4. This procedure may be modified from time to time with the concurrence of all
signatory parties, as represented by the HRPDC Directors of Utilities
Committee, in order to improve the efficiency of the mitigation process.
SIGNATORIES
This Memorandum of Agreement will be executed by the Chief Administrative Officer
of each participating local government or service authority and by the Executive Director of
the HRPDC. Individual signatory pages are included for each participating locality.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Release $30,000,000 for Capital Project #100291 "Operations
Facility Renovations" for the Renovations of Municipal Center Buildings 1, 2, and
11
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: In the Adopted FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
the City Council reserved $30 million in funding for the renovations of Buildings 1, 2, and
11 (the "Project"). The Project was listed as #3-174 "Operations Facility Renovations" in
the CIP and has been renumbered as Project #100291 . The $30,000,000 appropriation
in the CIP was held in abeyance pending future formal action by the City Council. The
Project is funded by Public Facility Revenue Bonds, and the hold on the funds was
intended to allow the City staff time to evaluate the City's cash flow needs as additional
information regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are revealed.
As discussed in the briefing to the City Council on October 20, 2020, the City staff
recommends releasing this reservation of $30 million. The City's cash position is
favorable, and the timing of the completion of this project is critical to City operations.
Aside from cash flow concerns, the budgetary impact of this action will be felt when the
debt service is repaid, which is not anticipated to begin until FY 2023-24.
• Considerations: Though the $30 million is fully appropriated, the CIP
Appropriation Ordinance required an additional formal action by the City Council. By
approving the attached ordinance, the City will be able to continue the design build
procurement for the Project.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Federal Funds for Mobilizations of the
Virginia Task Force 2 Urban Search and Rescue Team
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City is the sponsoring agency for the Virginia Task Force 2
Urban Search and Rescue Team. The Team was activated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to assist with Tropical Cyclones Marco and Laura response
activities, and eleven members responded to these storms. In addition, activation orders
were received for Oregon Wildfires, and four members responded to that activation.
• Considerations: Upon activation, FEMA provides funding to reimburse
sponsoring agencies for equipment, supplies and personnel costs incurred while
supporting the event. As the sponsoring agency, the Virginia Beach Fire Department is
responsible for the administrative and fiscal management of the team and its assets.
Consistent with previous deployments, FEMA authorized the reimbursement of all eligible
expenses related to these activation orders. Total reimbursement authorized for
responding to Marco and Laura is $134,913. Total reimbursement authorized for
responding to the Oregon Wildfires is $67,606. In addition, the department will receive
$5,727 in revenue for the cost of preparing these claims.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Federal Funds for the Virginia Task Force
2 Urban Search and Rescue Team and to Authorize 0.2 FTE
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach Fire Department is the sponsoring
agency for Virginia Task Force 2 (VA-TF2), Urban Search and Rescue Team. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the emergency preparedness branch of the
Department of Homeland Security, provides funding for VA-TF2 through Cooperative
Agreement Grants. This funding supports personnel costs, equipment and supplies,
facility leasing, training and travel necessary to maintain the Team at an expected level
of response capability.
FEMA has awarded $1,291,131 to VA-TF2 for support of ongoing expenses for a 36-
month period from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2023. A portion of this amount
($303,918) was included in the adopted FY 2020-21 Operating Budget based upon
estimated amounts that would be received in FY 2020-21 . These amounts represent the
risk management, personnel, and City garage costs that would be required for the VA-
TF2.
• Considerations: There is no local match for these federal funds. The grant will
continue to partially fund three full-time positions previously approved by City Council in
the current FEMA cooperative agreement grant: 0.70 FTE for the Fire Department
Battalion Chief who serves as the FEMA Program Manager; 0.80 FTE for an Account
Clerk Ill; and 0.50 FTE for an Accountant I. The remainder of the salary costs for these
positions is funded through the Fire Department's General Fund budget and were
authorized as part of the annual budget process. The grant will also continue to fully fund
one 0.60 FTE part-time Training Manager.
The adopted Operating Budget also authorized a part-time Logistics Manager within the
FEMA grant. However, the Fire Department is no longer in need of the position. A grant-
funded contracted staff member will assume these duties. The department's FY20 Grant
Proposal included the request for 1 fully funded FTE, an Administrative Support
Specialist, which was approved by the grantor. This results in a net increase of 0.2 FTE.
FEMA funds will now support a total of 3.6 FTEs and costs associated with a contract
staff member.
A table summarizing these position changes is included below.
Position FY 2020-21 Updated FY 2020 FEMA Change
Adopted FTE E Grant FTE
Battalion Officer 0.7 0.7 -
Accountant I 0.5 0.5 -

Total 3.4 3.6 0.2
The grant also provides funding for the continuation of a facility lease and expenses,
replacement of equipment and supplies, training, formal exercise and travel expenses.
The program has reached a point where this level of funding is critical to its continuity as
a viable program. Both personnel and equipment resource demands have far exceeded
the capacity of the sponsoring agency to cover support costs. FEMA assistance of this
magnitude is necessary to maintain VA-TF2 at required performance levels.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Federal Funds to Support the Fire
Department's Marine Team
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach was notified that the Port Security Grant
from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was approved in the amount of$24,010.
The Marine Team is responsible for assisting with response and recovery duties for
maritime emergencies in the Hampton Roads area, and these grant funds will assist in
this mission.
The proposed use of funding is purchase of an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for
two of the department's fireboats. An AIS is a tracking system used by ships and
vessels. Public Safety AIS can be turned on or off to be seen only when on a mission. The
entire region, including the United States Coast Guard (USCG), uses the AIS model the
Fire Department plans to purchase. This system will allow the USCG the ability to send
search patterns directly to the AIS of all the boats on a mission. The remainder of the
funding will be utilized to purchase personal protective equipment worn by personnel
responding to a marine emergency event.
• Considerations: The grant performance period is September 2020-August 2023.
There is no required local match for these grant funds.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $1,800,000 from Fund Balance, to Authorize a Grant
of $1,100,000 to the Virginia Beach Community Development Corporation
(VBCDC), to Provide $700,000 to the City of Virginia Beach Development
Authority, and to Request the City Auditor include Annual Audits of the VBCDC in
the Audit Schedule for Three Fiscal Years
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City received a request for funding from the Virginia Beach
Community Development Corporation (VBCDC) to allow the VBCDC to pay the current
balance of its line of credit. The City Council liaisons to the VBCDC have formulated a
proposal to honor this request, and that proposal was briefed to the City Council on
October 27, 2020. The outstanding balance on the line of credit is impeding VBCDC's
ability to develop any additional affordable housing in the City. At the October 27th briefing,
the City staff was directed to prepare an ordinance for consideration, which is to include
a condition that the VBCDC not pursue development outside the City.
The proposal for the $1,800,000 is structured as a grant and a loan. A grant of$1,100,000
will be provided by the City to pay a portion of the line of credit. The conditions for the
grant are set forth in the attached Exhibit A. An amount of $700,000 will be provided to
the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (VBDA), and the VBDA will provide a
loan to the VBCDC. The conditions for the loan are set forth in the attached Exhibit B.
• Considerations: This proposal builds upon the audit recommendations provided
by the City Auditor in a 2019 Report. Addressing the line of credit is an important step in
the path toward VBCDC becoming sustainable and allowing it to focus on its mission.
Without this grant and loan, other options will need to be considered, which could involve
sale of additional properties as well as refinancing.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer$246,158 within the FY 2020-21 Operating Budget of the
Fire Department for Virginia Task Force 2 Equipment
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach Fire Department is the sponsoring
agency for Virginia Task Force 2 (VA-TF2), Urban Search and Rescue Team. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the emergency preparedness branch of the
Department of Homeland Security, provides funding for VA-TF2 through Cooperative
Agreement Grants. This funding supports personnel costs, equipment and supplies,
facility leasing, training and travel necessary to maintain the Team at an expected level
of response capability.
• Considerations: The Fire Department requests a transfer of$246,158 in surplus
personnel funding to operating accounts within the FY 2017 FEMA Cooperative
Agreement Grant. These unspent personnel funds resulted from vacancies during the
grant period. Though the initial funding is from 2017, these grant funds are available for
use by the Fire Department for qualifying expenses. If approved, these funds will be used
to purchase equipment including new shirts, blouses, BDU pants, hats, gloves, rain gear,
boots, and travel bags. Funds will also be used to purchase hazardous material meters
and pallets to move equipment.
